Finally, something that is not a preseason friendly
After what seemed like an eternity (or 54 games, which is almost the same), the Leagues Cup has decided that it is time to stop playing and start competing seriously. Yes, friends, the quarterfinals are here, and no, not all the teams survived to tell the tale. Who remained? The same as always, but with more drama.
The menu of the day: football and more football (all on the same day)
Because nothing says “impeccable organization” like putting all four quarterfinal matches in a single day. Do you want to see them all? Get ready for a marathon of split screen, IV coffee, and explaining to your boss why you were late the next day. Here is the detail of this festival of sleeplessness:
- Toluca vs Orlando City: In case you didn’t have enough of the 7 PM traffic, now you have an excuse not to leave the couch. Time: 19:00.
- Pachuca vs LA Galaxy: The classic “Mexico vs USA”, 2025 version. Time: 21:45 (ideal for night owls).
- Tigres vs Inter Miami: Because Messi needs another trophy for his showcase, right? Time: 18:00 (so you don’t fall asleep early).
- Puebla vs Seattle Sounders: The match that everyone was waiting for… well, at least its fans. Time: 21:00.
And so, August 20 will become the official day of “which game do I play the sound on?” Luckily, modern technology allows us to see three at the same time while we follow the fourth on Twitter. Blessed digital age.
What can we expect? (Spoiler: a lot of drama)
Between faked injuries, referees that will make half the continent angry, and goals in the 93rd minute that no one saw coming, the Leagues Cup promises to give us all the circus we love. Who will fall? Who will survive? How many players will end up faking a cramp to save time? The answers, very soon.
